What it is

Black currant is a small, dark purple berry native to Europe and Asia. It is grown commercially for its fruit, which is typically processed into juices, jams, and flavorings. The berries are harvested when ripe and then cleaned and processed.

Health notes

Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated black currant extracts, but no specific health claims are approved. Evidence on specific health benefits is ongoing, and typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse effects.
